SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS  TO  BE  OBSERVED 
IN  HANDLING  GERMAN  MUNITIONS 


FUZES  AND  FUZED  PROJECTILES 

1.  Fuzed  projectiles  or  loose  fuzes  found  or  captured  will  be 
examined  as  soon  as  practicable  by  an  officer  only,  to  determine 
whether  or  not  they  are  safe  for  handling,  and  also  if  they  are 
of  a  new  or  unusual  type.  If  the  latter  condition  is  established, 
they  will  be  reported  to  an  Intelligence  Officer  for  disposition. 

Unsafe  projectiles  and  fuzes  of  known  or  usual  types  will  be 
conspicuously  marked  or  protected  pending  disposition  by  de- 
struction or  burying. 

2.  German  fuzes  may  be  classified  as  to  location  in  the  pro- 
jectile as  Point  and  Base.  Point  fuzes  are  more  frequently 
encountered  than  base  fuzes,  and  are  visible  from  an  outside 
inspection  of  a  projectile,  except  in  the  following  cases: 

(a)  Projectiles  employing  point  fuzes,  but  fitted  with  a 
"false"  (ballistic  windshield)  cap. 

(b)  The  77  mm.  anti-tank  shell  (K.  Gr.  15  m.  P.). 

(c)  A  variation  of  the  77  mm.  long  high  explosive  shell,  when 
provided  with  the  fuze,  "L.  K.  Z.  16  m.  V." 

These  projectiles  may  be  readily  distinguished  from  base 
fuzed  projectiles  from  an  inspection  of  the  base,  which  bears  no 
indication  of  the  presence  of  a  fuze. 

Base  fuzes,  as  a  rule,  are  found  in  large-caliber  howitzer  pro- 
jectiles and  in  medium  and  large-caliber  projectiles  used  in 
high  velocity  long-range  guns.  The  indications  of  the  presence 
of  base  fuzes,  to  be  expected  from  an  outside  inspection  of  a 
projectile,  are  a  view  of  the  fuze  itself,  or  of  the  metal  fuze 
cover  disc  on  the  base  of  the  projectile. 

3.  In  general,  the  safety  of  a  point  fuzed  projectile  may  be 
determined  in  the  following  manner: 

(a)  Many  types  of  point  fuzes  are  provided  with  a  safety  pin 
which  passes  through  the  fuze  body  and  one  of  the  active  ele- 


2.  . ;;..:  .  ;■. . 

:njent!s*in§rde:  :U*:tUVj?,pj«  is  rusty,  or  if  the  construction  of  the 
luze  indicates  that  a  safety  pin  was  provided,  but  is  missing, 
the  fuze  and  projectile  should  be  regarded  as  unsafe  for  hand- 
ling or  transportation. 

(b)  Many  types  of  fuzes  are  provided  with  gas  escape  holes 
covered  by  a  small  metal  disc  sealed  with  a  drop  of  wax.  The 
absence  of  the  gas  escape  hole  cover  indicates  that  the  fuze  has 
functioned  in  part,  which  should  cause  the  fuze  and  projectile 
to  be  regarded  as  unsafe  for  handling  or  transportation. 

(c)  "Instantaneous"  fuzes  are  provided  with  a  safety  cap  for 
the  protection  of  the  seat  for  the  percussion  plunger  rod.  The 
absence  of  the  safety  cap,  or  the  presence  of  the  percussion 
plunger  rod  projecting  from  the  point  of  the  fuze  should  cause 
the  fuze  and  projectile  to  be  regarded  as  unsafe  for  handling 
or  transportation. 

4.  Unexploded  base  fuzed  projectiles,  and  those  provided  with 
non-apparent  point  fuzes,  should  be  regarded  as  dangerous  for 
handling  or  transportation  until  examination  by  an  experi- 
enced officer  shows  that  they  are  safe. 

5.  German  fuzes  should  never  be  placed  in  water  with  a  view 
to  rendering  them  harmless.  Many  types  of  their  fuzes  contain 
an  internal  safety  device,  composed  of  a  mass  of  compressed 
powder,  which,  if  softened  or  dissolved  by  moisture,  may  permit 
the  arming  of  the  fuze,  and  may  thus  render  a  safe  fuze  dan- 
gerous for  handling  or  transportation. 

6.  "Minenwerfer"  projectiles  are  provided  with  point  fuzes 
which,  in  general,  are  similar  in  appearance,  action  and  safety 
arrangements  to  fuzes  provided  for  guns  and  howitzers;  how- 
ever, the  recent  development  of  a  minenwerfer  fuze  which 
functions  from  lateral  as  well  as  longitudinal  shock  should 
cause  these  projectiles  to  be  regarded  with  greater  suspicion 
than  those  provided  for  guns  and  howitzers. 

7.  Data  as  to  characteristics  and  illustrations  showing  ap- 
pearance and  markings  of  various  fuzes  and  projectiles  known 
to  be  in  service  in  the  German  army  will  be  found  in  appro- 
priate handbooks. 

8.  Gas  shell  for  guns,  howitzers  and  minenwerfer  are  pro- 
vided with  point  fuzes  of  the  same  general  appearance  and 
characteristics  as  those  provided  for  high  explosive  shell;  the 
safety  rules  above  given  for  point  fuzes  therefore  apply. 

9.  Leaking  gas  shell  should  be  buried  in  at  least  three  and 
one-half  feet  of  earth  and  in  addition  the  following  should  be 
carried  out: 

(a)   Blue  Cross,  Green  Cross,  gun  or  howitzer  shell,  and  all 


minenwerfer  shell  marked  with  one  or  more  white  bands  or  the 
letters  "B,"  "C"  or  "D"  should  first  be  covered  with  a  layer  of 
lime. 

(b)  Yellow  Cross  shell  should  first  be  covered  with  a  layer  of 
chloride  of  lime. 

10.  Gas  shell  should  never  be  thrown  in  water,  for  not  only 
may  the  safety  device  of  the  fuze  become  ineffective  (see  par. 
4),  but  the  water  may  become  poisoned.  Gas  shell,  if  safe  for 
handling,  should  always  be  stood  on  the  base  in  order  to  pre- 
vent the  possibility  of  the  liquid  coming  into  contact  with 
the  fuze  (see  par.  4). 

GRENADES. 

11.  German  grenades  may  be  classified  as  Explosive  Hand 
Grenades,  Gas  Hand  Grenades  and  Explosive  Rifle  Grenades. 

Grenades  found  or  captured  will  be  examined  as  soon  as 
practicable,  only  by  a  trained  bomber  or  an  officer  who  thor- 
oughly understands  the  construction  and  functioning  of  grenades 
in  general.  This  examination  has  for  its  purpose  the  determi- 
nation of  whether  or  not  the  grenade  is  of  a  new  or  unusual 
type  and  the  matter  of  its  safety  for  handling  and  transporta- 
tion. 

Unidentified  or  unusual  types  and  their  fragments  will  be 
reported  to  an  Intelligence  Officer  for  disposition.  Unsafe 
grenades  of  known  types  will  be  conspicuously  marked  or  pro- 
tected, pending  disposition  by  burying  or  destruction. 

EXPLOSIVE   HAND   GRENADES. 

12.  Cylindrical  Grenade  with  Wood  Handle,  Old  Type.  (See 
figures  1,  2,  3  and  4.)  There  are  two  variations  of  this  type, 
both  being  exploded  by  a  friction  time  fuze  and  pull  cord  or 
wire.  In  the  earlier  model,  the  pull  cord  is  secured  to  the  lower 
part  of  handle  by  a  paper  band;  in  the  later  model,  the  pull 
cord  is  coiled  in  a  cavity  in  the  base  of  the  handle,  which  is 
closed  by  a  metal  screw  cap.  If  found  with  paper  band  broken 
and  pull  cord  free,  or  handle  screw  cap  missing,  the  grenade  is 
live  and  should  be  handled  with  care. 

13.  Cylindrical  Time  Grenade  with  Metal  Handle,  1917  Type. 
(See  figure  5.)  This  grenade  differs  from  No.  1,  in  being  pro- 
vided with  an  aluminum  handle  painted  "field  gray."  It  is  ex- 
ploded by  a  friction  time  fuze  and  pull  cord  or  wire;  the  latter 
is  attached  to  a  weight  seated  in  a  cavity  in  the  bottom  of  the 
handle,  and  is  held  in  place  by  a  screw  cap. 

If  found  with  handle  screw  cap  missing,  the  grenade  is  live, 
and  should  be  handled  with  great  care. 


14.  Cylindrical  Percussion  Grenade  with  Wood  and  Metal 
Handle  ("Wilhelm"),  (See  figure  6.)  This  grenade  is  similar  in 
appearance  to  No.  1,  except  that  the  upper  half  of  its  handle  is 
of  metal,  the  cylinder  is  of  slightly  greater  diameter,  and  the 
belt  hook  is  missing.  There  are  two  variations  of  this  type;  in 
one,  a  safety  pin  is  attached  to  a  weight,  seated  in  a  cavity  in 
the  base  of  the  handle,  and  retained  by  a  handle  screw  cap.  In 
the  other,  the  handle  screw  cap  is  not  used;  the  safety  pin  ter- 
minates in  a  ring,  which  projects  from  the  bottom  of  the 
handle,  and  is  held  in  place  by  a  safety  cord  passing  through 
the  handle. 

If  found  with  the  safely  pin  ring  or  safety  pin  weight  missing, 
the  grenade  is  not  safe  for  handling.  This  type  of  grenade  is  to 
be  regarded  as  especially  dangerous. 

15.  Cylindrical  Percussion  Grenade  with  Wood  Handle,  19i7 
Type.  (See  figure  7.)  This  grenade  is  quite  similar  in  outward 
appearance  to  the  later  variation  of  No.  1,  the  end  of  its  handle 
being  closed  by  a  metal  screw  cap  which  retains  in  the  handle 
cavity  a  weighted  tube. 

If  found  with  the  handle  screw  cap  missing  or  weighted  tube 
projecting,  the  grenade  is  not  safe  for  handling.  Unsafe  percus- 
sion grenades  are  to  be  regarded  as  especially  dangerous. 

16.  Egg,  Time  Hand  Grenade.  (See  figure  8.)  The  body  is 
of  cast  iron  painted  black,  of  about  the  same  shape  and  size  as 
a  large  egg.  One  end  is  flattened  and  is  provided  with  a  screw 
seat  for  the  friction  primer-time  fuze  tube,  which  is  provided 
near  its  outer  end  with  a  gas  escape  hole  drilled  through  its 
side  and  covered  by  a  paper  band.  The  loop  of  the  friction  pull 
cord  or  wire  emerges  from  the  end  of  the  tube.  If  found  with 
the  friction  pull  cord  loop  in  place,  and  no  evidence  of  the 
burning  through  of  the  paper  cover  for  gas  escape  hole,  the 
grenade  is  live  and  should  be  handled  with  great  care,  since  a 
pull  on  the  friction  loop  will  cause  it  to  explode. 

17.  Disc,  Percussion  Hand  Grenade.  (See  figure  9.)  Two  vari- 
ations of  this  type  are  known;  a  small  model,  made  of  two 
convex  discs  of  sheet  iron  crimped  or  riveted  together,  and  a 
large  model  made  of  cast  iron.  The  brief  description  below 
given  applies  to  both  models. 

This  type  of  grenade  is  provided  at  its  edge  with  six  radial 
tubes,  five  of  which  are  closed  by  screw  caps  or  plugs,  and  the 
sixth  with  a  slip  cap,  retained  by  a  cotter  pin  terminating  in  a 
ring;  the  tube  opposite  the  one  last  mentioned  contains  the  de- 
tonator, and  is  marked  by  the  letter  "S"  stamped  in  tne  top  of 
the  screw  cap. 

If  found  with  cotter  pin  or  slip  cap  missing,  the  grenade  is 


live  and  should  be  handled  with  great  care.  If  any  portion  of 
the  safety  plunger  projects  from  the  slip  cap  tube,  or  if  this 
tube  is  empty,  the  grenade  should  not  be  handled  by  anyone. 

18.  Spherical  Time  Hand  Grenade.  (See  figure  10.)  This 
grenade  is  a  sphere  of  cast  iron,  three  inches  in  diameter,  ser- 
rated for  fragmentation  and  provided  with  a  friction  tube,  from 
the  end  of  which  projects  a  friction  wire  terminating  in  a  ring. 
A  gas  escape  hole  is  provided  near  the  outer  end  of  the  friction 
tube,  and  covered  with  waterproof  paper. 

If  found  with  friction  wire  in  place,  and  paper  cover  for  gas 
escape  hole  not  burned  through,  the  grenade  should  be  handled 
with  care,  since  a  pull  on  the  friction  wire  will  cause  an  ex- 
plosion. 

19.  Spherical  Percussion  Hand  Grenade.  (See  figure  11.)  This 
grenade  consists  of  an  iron  sphere,  serrated  for  fragmentation, 
into  which  is  screwed  a  steel  cylinder  35  mm.  in  diameter  and 
57  mm.  in  height,  containing  a' percussion  firing  mechanism.  A 
small  wire  passes  through  a  hole  drilled  in  the  base  of  the 
cylinder  and  is  attached  to  a  cord,  which  is  in  turn  fastened  to 
a  projector  cup  by  means  of  which  the  grenade  is  thrown. 

The  projector  cup  is  a  steel  cylinder  40  mm.  in  diameter  and 
100  mm.  high,  with  a  flaring  mouth. 

If  found  with  safety  wire  broken,  or  if  the  grenade  is  found 
separate  from  the  projector  cup,  it  is  live,  and  should  not 
be  handled  by  anyone. 

GAS  GRENADES. 

20.  Gas  grenades  are  hand-propelled,  and  include  two  types: 
the  non-explosive  glass  grenade,  and  the  metal  grenade,  which 
requires  a  small  charge  of  explosive  in  order  to  cause  the  rup- 
ture of  the  case. 

21.  Glass,  Gas  Hand  Grenade.  This  grenade  consists  of  a 
glass  sphere  85  mm.  in  diameter,  sometimes  covered  with  a  pro- 
tective cord  netting.  It  is  non-explosive,  but  breaks  up  on  im- 
pact. 

Unbroken  grenades  of  this  type,  while  not  actively  dan- 
gerous, should  be  handled  with  care,  precautions  being  taken 
against  their  being  dropped. 

22.  Metal  Gas  Grenade.  (See  figure  12.)  This  grenade  is 
composed  of  two  hemispheres  of  sheet  iron  100  mm.  in  diameter, 
painted  gray,  and  provided  with  a  friction  tube-detonator 
screwed  in  the  body. 

This  tube,  when  in  place,  projects  about  24  mm.  and  carries  a 
friction  pull  wire  terminating  in  a  ring. 


Variations  of  this  type  may  be  distinguished  by  the  following 
inscriptions  to  be  found  painted  on  the  body: 

Early  type:     "B"  or  "B.  StoflF,"  or  "Hoechst-a-M."  in  black. 

Later  type:  A  red  band  about  the  junction  of  the  body,  and 
the  letter  "B"  painted  on  each  side  of  the  band.  The  inscription 
in  red,  "Gas  C." 

As  a  general  rule  this  type  of  gas  grenade  should  not  be 
handled  by  any  one  except  an  officer  familiar  with  the  subject 
of  gas. 

Leaky  gas  grenades  should  be  disposed  of  in  the  same  manner 
as  that  prescribed  for  gas  projectiles. 

23.  To  disassemble  safe  hand  grenades: 

(a)  Handle  type:     Unscrew  handle  and  remove  detonator. 

(b)  Egg  or  spherical  types:  Unscrew  friction  or  detonator 
element. 

(c)  Disc  types:  Unscrew  the  "S"  cap  and  then  the  remaining 
ones,  except  the  slip  cap  held  by  the  cotter  pin;  remove  the  de- 
tonator and  friction  pellets. 

RIFLE  GRENADES. 

24.  German  rifle  grenades  may  be  divided  into  two  general 
classes:    Percussion  Type  with  Tail  Rod,  and  Time  Fuze  Type. 

25.  1913  Model,  Tail  Rod  Percussion  Type.  (See  figure  13.) 
This  grenade  is  composed  of  a  steel  cylinder  painted  "field  gray," 
120  mm.  long,  40  mm.  in  diameter,  serrated  for  fragmentation 
and  provided  with  a  tail  rod  450  mm.  in  length.  A  percussion 
fuze  is  screwed  in  a  seat  in  the  front  of  the  body  and  two  gas 
escape  holes  filled  with  wax  are  provided  near  the  rear. 

If  this  type  is  found  with  gas  escape  holes  open  it  is  live  and 
should  not  be  handled. 

Even  if  the  grenade  appears  to  be  safe  (gas  escape  holes  sealed 
with  wax)  it  should  be  handled  with  great  care,  since  dropping 
it  may  render  it  unsafe  or  cause  its  explosion. 

26.  1913  Model,  Tail  Rod  Percussion  Type.  (See  figure  13.) 
This  is  a  variation  of  the  original  1913  model,  the  difference 
being  the  provision  of  a  safety  pin,  which  passes  through  a 
stem  at  the  lower  end  of  the  body,  and  one  of  the  active  ele- 
ments inside. 

If  found  with  the  safety  pin  missing,  the  grenade  is  live,  and 
if  handling  is  necessary,  great  care  should  be  exercised.  If,  in 
addition,  the  gas  escape  holes  are  open,  the  grenade  is  dangerous 
for  handling  by  anyone. 

27.  191^  Model,  Tail  Rod  Percussion  Type.  (See  figure  14.) 
This  grenade  is  composed  of  a   steel  cylinder  and  tail  rod  of 


about  the  same  appearance  and  dimensions  as  the  1913  model. 
A  cupped  disc  of  iron  is  screwed  over  the  lower  end  of  the 
body  and  a  milled  headed  fuze  is  screwed  into  the  nose.  When 
the  fuze  has  not  functioned,  its  milled  head  rests  upon  the  end 
of  the  nose  without  interval. 

If  the  grenade  is  found  with  milled  head  of  fuze  extending  a 
short  distance  beyond  the  nose  of  the  grenade  body  it  is  live, 
and  not  safe  for  handling  by  anyone. 

28.  "Safe"  grenades  of  the  Percussion  Tail  Rod  type  should 
be  handled  with  great  care,  and  if  carried,  the  body  and  not  the 
tail  rod  should  be  grasped,  the  fuze  end  being  carried  upper- 
most. 

To  disassemble  "safe"  grenades  of  this  type,  grasp  the  grenade 
as  when  carried  and  unscrew  the  fuze. 

29.  1917  Model  Time  Rifle  Grenade.  (See  figure  15.)  This 
grenade  is  composed  of  a  steel  cylinder  58  mm.  in  diameter,  75 
mm.  in  length,  with  hemispherical  ends,  pierced  with  an  axial 
channel  for  the  passage  of  the  rifle  bullet.  A  fulminate  cap  is 
seated  in  the  side  of  the  upper  portion  of  the  bullet  channel. 
The  grenade  is  propelled  by  the  gas  of  the  rifle  cartridge  from 
a  "tromblon"  attached  to  the  ritle  barrel  by  a  spring  collar. 

While  this  type  of  grenade  is  not  actively  dangerous,  it  should 
be  handled  with  care,  and  no  attempt  should  be  made  to  intro- 
duce any  hard  object  in  the  bullet  channel. 

30.  Stick  Bomb.  (See  figures  16  and  17.)  This  bomb  is  fired 
from  a  "Stick  Bomb  Thrower"  or  "Signal  Thrower,"  and  is  of 
the  self-propelled  type. 

It  is  composed  of  a  cast  iron  cylinder  two  and  one-half  inches 
in  diameter,  five  inches  long  and  serrated  for  fragmentation.  A 
steel  tube  five  inches  long,  containing  the  propelling  cartridge, 
is  screwed  into  the  lower  end  of  the  body;  four  vanes  or  wings 
are  riveted  to  this  tube  near  its  outer  end.  A  percussion  fuze  se- 
cured by  a  radial  safety  pin  is  screwed  in  a  seat  provided  in  the 
upper  end  of  the  body.  The  body,  tube  and  vanes  are  painted 
"field  gray." 

If  found  with  fuze  in  place,  but  safety  pin  missing,  the  bomb 
is  live  and  should  not  be  handled  by  anyone. 

If  both  fuze  and  its  safetj^  pin  are  in  place,  or  if  the  fuze  is 
missing,  the  bomb  may  be  handled,  but  with  care. 

To  disassemble  safe  bombs  of  this  type,  unscrew  the  fuze. 

31.  Signal  and  Message  Rockets.  (See  figures  18,  19  and  20.) 
These  devices  are  composed  of  a  cylinder  of  iron  or  zinc  one 
and  one-half  inches  in  diameter  and  three  and  one-half  inches 
long,  with  the  front  end  closed  by  a  conical  iron  cap  painted  a 
distinctive  color.    To  the  lower  end  of  the  cylinder  is  attached  a 


8 

tube  seven  inches  long,  to  which  are  riveted  four  vanes  or 
wings. 

These  devices  are  non-explosive,  except  for  the  propelling 
cartridge  seated  in  the  forward  portion  of  the  tube,  and  are 
fired  from  a  "stick  bomb  thrower"  or  "signal  thrower." 

Message  rockets  contain  various  colored  light  compositions, 
indicated  by  the  painting  on  the  conical  closing  cap,  which,  in 
the  case  of  two  specimens  examined,  was  red  and  green,  re- 
spectively. 

The  message  rocket,  in  addition  to  a  light  and  smoke  composi- 
tion, contains  in  the  forward  portion  of  the  body  a  small  metal 
can  intended  for  the  reception  of  a  written  message.  The  color 
of  the  front  closing  cap  of  a  specimen  examined  was  yellow. 

Rockets  of  the  above  types  are  not  dangerous  for  handling 
or  transportation.
